The queen, finding that the Spaniards had involved her in so much trouble, by fomenting and assisting the Irish rebellion, resolved to give them employment at home; and she fitted out a squadron of nine ships, under Sir Richard Levison, admiral, and Sir William Monson, vice-admiral, whom she sent on an expedition to the coast of Spain.
"What are they stopping for? There are two policemen there! Oh!" shrieked Afy, "if they haven't put handcuffs on him! Whatever has he done? What can he have been up to?" "Where? Who? What?" cried the servants, bewildered with the crowd. "Put handcuffs on which?" "Sir Francis Levison. Hush! What is that they say?" Listening, looking, turning from white to red, from red to white, Afy stood.
He wore a plum-colored frock coat of the finest cloth; his green velvet waistcoat was guarded by a gold chain, which would have been the envy of a new town council; an immense opal gleamed on the breast of his embroidered shirt; and his fingers were covered with very fine rings. 'Your sarvant, Captin, said Mr. Levison, and he placed a chair for his guest.
Carlyle was intensely popular in West Lynne, setting aside his candidateship and his oratory; and West Lynne made common cause against Sir Francis Levison. Sir Francis Levison harangued the mob from the Raven, but in a more ignoble manner.
"It tells like a fable out of a romance," resumed Mrs. Carlyle. "Well for him if the romance be not ended in the gibbet. Fancy what it would be for him Sir Francis Levison to be hung for murder!" "Barbara, my dearest!" The voice was Mr. Carlyle's, and she flew off on the wings of love. It appeared that the gentlemen had not yet departed, and now thought they would take coffee first.
And her attendants took care to keep from her all that could revive her memory of the tragedy at Lone. One morning the Duke of Hereward came to the house and asked to see Lady Belgrade alone. The dowager received him in the library. "Has Miss Levison seen the morning papers?" he inquired, as soon as the usual greetings were over. "No, they have not yet come," answered her ladyship. "Thank Heaven!
Levison in no very amiable mood; but just as he was leaving the house, a cabriolet, beautifully painted, of a brilliant green colour picked out with a somewhat cream-coloured white, and drawn by a showy Holstein horse of tawny tint, with a flowing and milk-white tail and mane, and caparisoned in harness almost as precious as Mr. Levison's sideboard, dashed up to the door.
"Much obliged for the suggestion," replied the earl. "But one likes a respectable father-in-law, and Mount Severn is going to smash. He and I are too much in the same line, and might clash, in the long run." "One can't have everything; the girl's beauty is beyond common. I saw that rake, Levison, make up to her. He fancies he can carry all before him, where women are concerned."
'And pray, sir, who are you? 'Don't wish to be unpleasant, was the answer, 'but, sir, you are my prisoner. There is something exceedingly ignoble in an arrest: Ferdinand felt that sickness come over him which the uninitiated in such ceremonies must experience. However, he rallied, and enquired at whose suit these proceedings were taken. 'Messrs. Morris and Levison, sir.
Sir Francis Levison approached to greet her as he came in. She waved him off, begging him, in a subdued, quiet tone, not to draw too near, as any little excitement made her faint now. He took a seat opposite to her, and began pushing the logs together with his boot, as he explained that he really could not get away from town before. "Why did you come now?" she quietly rejoined.
